00:0040 families were evacuated after 20 houses in Maypaho, Caloocan were burned down.
00:06The fire was caused by an overheated ventilator.
00:10Jomer Apresto has the hottest news.
00:17This is the fire that woke up 4 and 5 residents in Maypaho, Caloocan City at 3 a.m.
00:25The fire spread quickly, so the second alarm was immediately raised.
00:30The firefighters had to respond to 8 firetrucks.
00:35Some explosions were also heard earlier in the fire.
00:39Some of the evacuated residents had almost nothing to save.
00:44Like the 29-year-old resident, Vina, who was sleeping when the fire broke out.
00:49The fire started next to our house.
00:53We don't know where to go. We don't have parents.
00:58Our mom and dad are already dead.
01:01I don't know where to start.
01:04Her problem now is where they will live and where they will get their expenses,
01:08especially since she's the one taking care of her three siblings.
01:11Please help us. Give us some money.
01:15No matter what happens, our house will be taken care of.
01:21The senior citizen, Ms. Linda, immediately evacuated her 8 grandchildren and their dogs.
01:28I thought it was just a fight.
01:30When I looked out the window, I heard a scream.
01:35When I turned around, the smoke was already thick.
01:40We turned around. The fire was already strong.
01:45According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:47the fire was caused by an overheated electric fan.
01:51Fortunately, the two children who were sleeping in the room were immediately evacuated.
01:56They were 6 and 7 years old.
01:58Their guard was sleeping in another house.
02:03The two children were left behind.
02:05Our fire equipment was accessed.
02:07That was one of our problems during the response.
02:12The cars were parked there.
02:14According to the investigation of the BFP,
02:16the fire lasted for more than three hours before it was extinguished at 5.40 a.m.
02:21Two people were injured in the fire.
02:24The houses there were made of light materials.
02:26That's why the fire spread quickly.
02:31According to the BFP,
02:33the estimated cost of the fire was around Php200,000.
